i think people start with a great deal of optimism and it's my sense that mr. thornburgh and mr. ridge and ms. duck worth want to see those rights advance throughout the world and to see the u.s. leadership in that area. at the same time i would assume that the three of you would not want a convention with any effect whatsoever on domestic love meaning you would not want a treaty that we have and all three of you are in agreement with that so it seems to me that instead of maybe taking the approach where we try to look at people who have concerns like that as enemies the concern would be to try to figure out a way to make sure they have a treaty that advances the efforts effort that the three of you are here about and have done such a wonderful job with it at the same time try to make sure the treaty doesn't have those unintended consequences. it's pretty phenomenal that today the supreme court is hearing a case where the exact thing has occurred so my question first would be to mr. meyer to ask you this question. we have the rud issue which hopefully we will be examining over th

mr. thornburgh, you say you're surprised. we would all be surprised at the supreme court ruled this way as well. it would behoove us to see how they rule before we go ahead with this. that is just the way i feel here. i tend to discount some of the claims about the use supply and i have my own questions about whether it is worth it simply because we are saying on one hand it matters a lot and on the other it really doesn't. what's the use of a treaty if it's treated like that? here, i think we are all surprised that the action at the department of justice here and i think we have to see how the supreme court rules before moving ahead. thank you, mr. chairman. >> just an observation. i understand the senator's concerns. i appreciate it. the justice department has prosecuted cases on federal statutes, not the implementation of treaties knowing far afield of what the federal government intended and it has nothing to do with the treaty. the supreme court turned provisions of what prosecutions were so you could never totally rely

"nothing in the convention, including article 25, addresses any particular health program or procedure. do you think that is sufficient to address concerns raised about what effect this treaty might have on the u.s. laws and polici

i would say to professor meyer and mr. thornburgh, i think there's a clear distinction here. the bond case is not being raised under the treaty, the convention, when it comes to chemical weapons. this case is being prosecuted under the implementation act, a separate act of congress implementing the treaty. two different things. so when they come to the disabilities act, what is the implementation act under the convention for disabilities? there is none. the only implementation act is the americans with disabilities act which has been on the books for 20 years. and we tested that over 20 years. has it a limited homeschooling, mr. farris? i don't think so. hasn't mandated abortion across america? dr. yoshihara? know it has an. the americans with disabilities act is the implementation -- implementing act that we adopted ahead of the treaty on disabilities. the bond case is dealing with the implementation act on the convention weapons treaties. two separate actions by congress. one ratifying the convention on chemical weapons. two, passing a law called the implication act, the la
